side of two years became noted all over
the land as the one summer resort from
which vice was excluded wholly, in which
intoxication was unknown, and where the
rattle of the gamblers dice-b box was never
heard.
FROM THAT TINE
To this the place has grown in popularity
until, as we say, in the summer thousands
make it their dwelling place, and in winter
hundreds prefer it to any other residence.
The original projectors laid the place off in
blocks and lots, and these were sold with
conditions as to intoXicants and cards at
tacbed. In every case the lot buyer has
found his property to have appreciated
upon his hands, and to have been, as mere
money matter, sound and paying invest

and winter resort on this side of the con-

thoughts. At the same time, those not de-
voted to religious contemplation never
find at Pacific Resort any prominence given
TO the religious element that at ali infringes
upon perfect freedom within the walks
of good breeding, or that intrudes itself,
into the affairs of those not invifingit. Here
the Chau.auqua Literary Circle meets in
annual conventions, and from time to time
Sunday school and ether religious organi-
cations have their reunions. From a sum-
